Cartoon Network Too (stylisedCN Too) was a British television channel that was owned byTurner Broadcasting. CN Too was the sister station ofCartoon Network, and it often aired programmes a while after they are shown on the main Cartoon Network.[3] Cartoon Network Too was shut down on 1 April 2014.
On 24 April 2006, which was coincidentally the dayNick Jr. Too was also launched, Cartoon Network Too was launched onSky. It also became available onSCTV Digital when that service became available in 2006, along withCartoon Network andBoomerang. The channel aired from 3:00AM to 7:00PM and originally timeshared withTCM 2, fromTCM.
During its early months, Cartoon Network Too mainly broadcast older shows from Cartoon Network's library, such asDexter's Laboratory,The Powerpuff Girls,Johnny Bravo,Wacky Races, andCow and Chicken.[4][5] alongside then-currently-running shows likeEd, Edd n Eddy,The Cramp Twins, andCourage the Cowardly Dog.
After this period, the channel transitioned to a "Modern-Classics" format, airing many currently-running Cartoon Network shows alongside programmes airing onBoomerang, and occasional older programming.
Starting from September 2006, Cartoon Network Too gave up nine of its sixteen hours of programming a day forCartoonito as a programming block from 6:00AM until 3:00PM. Cartoon Network Too's airtime remained 3:00AM to 7:00PM, however the actual programming from Cartoon Network Too only aired in the mornings from 3:00AM until 6:00AM and then in the afternoons from 3:00PM until 7:00PM, as the remaining hours contained Cartoonito's programming.
On 2 May 2007, Turner announced that Cartoon Network Too would be expanded to a full 24-hour slot beginning on 24 May and merge withToonami, taking its slot. This would allow the channel to begin broadcasting onVirgin Media in addition to Sky, as well as to allow a standaloneCartoonito channel to launch in the channel's original slot on Sky.[6] To prepare for the merger, viewers were given three weeks of notice.
On 23 May 2007 at 7:00PM, the old version of Cartoon Network Too closed for the last time. Then, in the early hours of 24 May 2007, at 3:00AM,Toonami shut down permanently and Cartoon Network Too was moved into its slot, while the standalone Cartoonito channel launched in Cartoon Network Too's original time-shared-with-TCM2 slot.
In June 2007, Cartoon Network Too became available onTop Up TV Anytime, which is a video-on-demand service. However, in June 2009, it was removed, but Cartoon Network continues to be accessible via Top Up TV Anytime. In June 2010, Cartoon Network Too was removed fromSCTV Digital as a result of that service going into administration.
In May 2012, Cartoon Network Too's logo was changed in line with the already updated main logo of Cartoon Network, and transitioned its programming to a more male-focused audience, with a heavier focus on action-adventure programming such asBen 10: Alien Force andStar Wars: The Clone Wars. The channel also began to be verbally referred to as CN TOO. During overnight hours, usually from 12:00AM until 6:00AM, it also aired some shows which are no longer being produced, and are no longer in high demand (i.e.Skatoony).
On 1 April 2014, Cartoon Network Too was shut down, the final programme on Cartoon Network Too was an episode ofSkatoony, followed by promos of what was airing on Cartoon Network, then a bumper following into a clip of Cartoon Network's promotional content from 2007, which was shown incomplete as Cartoon Network +1 was relaunched into Cartoon Network Too's channel space.[7]
